True to tradition, AAU Annual Celebration offers a blast of a party with good food, singing, dancing and a fantastic music program when AKKC opens its doors to AAU's staff and students on 17 April 2026.

During week 11, we will unveil this year's music program. Keep an eye on AAU's Instagram profile, where you can guess this year's music names and win tickets to the party.
